HTML Change the Background-Color of a Checked Checkbox

Question

I have a really simple question but I could'nt find one simple answers for this.

I have a checkbox like below:

<input type="checkbox">

And I want to change just the background color when this checkbox is checked.

Is there a simple way to do this in CSS or JS ?

Does this answer your question? [How to change the background color on a input checkbox with css?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34388696/how-to-change-the-background-color-on-a-input-checkbox-with-css) — Simone Rossaini, Jul 31 '20 at 12:56
Thanks, but I already saw this question. Is there no way to do this on a leaner way? — NilsKyuubi, Jul 31 '20 at 12:58

You can simply use :checked pseudo class and :after pseudo element to color your background when its checked.

Edit: For a complete background on a checkbox you we need full customised the checkbox. Its a complete CSS solution.

input[type="checkbox"]:checked {
  background: blue;
  color: white;
}

input[type="checkbox"] {
  cursor: pointer;
  -webkit-appearance: none;
  -moz-appearance: none;
  appearance: none;
  outline: 0;
  background: lightgray;
  height: 16px;
  width: 16px;
  border: 1px solid white;
  color: white;
}

input[type="checkbox"]:after {
  content: ' ';
  position: relative;
  left: 40%;
  top: 20%;
  width: 15%;
  height: 40%;
  border: solid #fff;
  border-width: 0 2px 2px 0;
  transform: rotate(50deg);
  display: none;
}

input[type="checkbox"]:checked:after {
  display: block;
}

<input type="checkbox" />

this will change color of the text inside label and not the checkbox.. – Simone Rossaini Jul 31 '20 at 13:00

I edit the code of reference : reference
this is the least you need to write:

input[type="checkbox"] {
  visibility: hidden;
}
input[type="checkbox"] + label:before {
  border: 1px solid #333;
  content: "\00a0";
  display: inline-block;
  font: 16px/1em sans-serif;
  height: 16px;
  margin: 0 .25em 0 0;
  padding: 0;
  vertical-align: top;
  width: 16px;
}
input[type="checkbox"]:checked + label:before {
  background: red;
  color: green;
  content: "\2713";
  text-align: center;
}

      <input type="checkbox" id="Custom" name="Custom">
      <label for="Custom">Custom Check</label>
